Does adderall and Ritalin show up the same in a drug test?

They are both Amphetamines and will show up as such on a drug test. They cannot distinguish what type of Amphetamine you took at an earlier date, only that Amphetamines were in your system. Most drug tests will not pick up on this drug after about 3 to 4 days later, but a hair test will! So I'd use a Hair Follicle Shampoo! Good Luck

How do you tell my doctor i want to switch my Vyvanse to adderall xr?

I have the same question! I am experincing terrible side effects from this drug. The side effects do not outweigh the benefits for me. My job requires me to be very alert and demands immediate decisions. Stratterra has been a nightmare for me so far. Im 28 and I have been on 40 mgs for 10 days. My side effects are getting worse and I feel like this drug is not for me. I feel like I need something else . . . this is all new to me. Any suggestions on how to ask for different treatments?

What are the effects of mixing Adderall and marijuana?

Answer
  • The only thing I know about the interaction is that it causes memory loss, sometimes severely. Choose one or the other, but not both.
  • The results will differ for every person, but I have been taking strattera for a year, and have been smoking daily with it, and have had no adverse side effects.
  • If you have been taking strattera for a while, you should be fine. if not, it may slow your heart rate down a little but its nothing to be scared of. just dont let your friends make you think your heart is going to stop. but i would start with a small dose.
  • I did it while I was "building up" and had no problem on the lower dose. When I switched to the higher dose and smoked I lost complete motor function, started sweating profusely, turned 5 shades of pale and and got really sick my advice is DO NOT do it when you are building up on the medication. It didn't turn out well for me...

Does Adderall cause gas?

In some cases, yes; Adderall contains amphetamine. Amphetamine increases blood pressure and causes the release of dopamine and norepinephrine. This can cause digestive problems such as constipation or diarrhea due to blood flow being redirected to brain and muscles as opposed to digestive function. In addition, the lack of appetite caused by amphetamine can also worsen constipation. Ensure your diet contains fiber (fruits, whole grains) and sufficient water intake.

Who invented Adderall?

I think it was L. Edeleano but I don't know for a fact

Hi! Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887, by the German chemist L. Edeleano, the stimulant effects were not noticed. In the early 1930s, when amphetamine's CNS stimulant properties and use as a respiratory stimulant were discovered it was marketed as an inhaler for nasal congestion. At this time, medical professionals recommended amphetamine as a cure for a range of ailments-alcohol hangover, narcolepsy, depression, weight reduction, hyperactivity in children, and vomiting associated with pregnancy. The use of amphetamine grew rapidly because it was inexpensive, readily available, had long lasting effects, and because professionals purported that amphetamine did not pose an addiction risk. Oral and intravenous preparations of amphetamine derivatives, including methamphetamine, were developed and became available for therapeutic purposes. During World War II, the military in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan used amphetamines to increase alertness and endurance and to improve mood. Abuse began rising during the 1960s and 1970s with the discovery that the intravenous injection of amphetamines (particularly methamphetamine) produced enhanced euphoric effects with a more rapid onset than oral administration. Although structurally similar to amphetamine, methamphetamine has more pronounced effects on the CNS. Between 1986 and 1989, law enforcement and treatment admission professionals in Hawaii reported that abuse of a concentrated form of methamphetamine (known as "ice," "glass," and "crystal") was increasing.

Can you take adderall and xenadrine at the same time?

These two very similar drugs have many properties in common. You are almost taking the same drug. So, when you combine these two, you're risking an OD. Talk to your doc about this -- if she prescribed both of them to you ask her all about why she did that please.

Can Adderall cause weight gain?

Weight loss is a side effect. Not everyone loses weight, but Adderall is known to help with weight loss. Although, sometimes that isn't always good. I have developed an eating disorder because of Adderall. You just have to be smart about it, and never abuse Adderall.

AnswerWhen you first begin taking Adderall, one of its side effects is to reduce appetite which results in weight loss. However, this side effect only lasts about six months and then disappears and your normal appetite returns.

Does anyone take adderall and a chronic fatigue medication?

I started with Provigil which did absolutely nothing for my fatuigue. Then I switched to Adderall and guess what? My fatigue got WORSE! I took it for two days and finally had to stop. I know this sounds a little inane, but it's true. Any thoughts? Thanks! I use adderall and it works on my fatigue, but the down side is that it does not last long for me. I do not want to take much because I also suffer from severe chronic insomnia for the past 15 years. I have tried all of the psych meds and sleep aids but nothing has help. Before I started on the adderall, my fatigue was so bad that all I did was stay in bed. Litterally stayed in bed day in and day out. But when I started on the adderall I would have the energy to get up and do the things that used to do, but it only lasted for about four to five hours. So I only take it when I have to do something important and suffer when I try to go to sleep. I did use chloral hydrate several years ago for insomnia but that is hard to fine since they have came up with new benzos and hypnotics.

When to administer Adderall?

The "straight up" (legal) answer would be: Administer Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts or MAS) only to the person to whom it is prescribed, exactly as prescribed. Adderall is a "schedule II" drug, and as such, it is illegal for anyone to take or possess it if it is not prescribed to them unless that person is responsible for administering it to a minor prescribed the medication.

Does Vyvanse cause testicle side effects?

YES! I could not find anyone else who has side effects "down there" But while I am taking Vyvanse It is like my sack draws up, and gets tight, and my penis contracts also! Its like I just took a cold shower...except it lasts for hours

I am experiencing extreme pain from the penis all the way beneath to the anus as I climax - this lasts about a minute and a half. I've been on Vyvanse for about 7 months now and other than this one side effect it's been a dramatic (read GOOD) change in my life-

What if you take 20mg adderall xr at 300pm and you take another adderall xr 20mg at 700pm will the two last 24 hours?

That's a lot of adderall, you'll be up for over 20 hrs. and no doubt get sick

That guy has no idea what he is talking about. If you take the 3 20mg adderal XR at the exact same time, it could last at the very longest 12 hours. Depending on your tolerance, metabolism, if you ate before taking it, if you drank something acidic before taking it. If the food you at was fatty or healthy. If you eat a full meal, the adderall's effectiveness can weaken up to 44%. On an empty stomach you'll get the full effects. If pills were taken at the same time based on all those factors it could last for 4-12 hours. If you spead the 3 pills apart it can last from 12-34 hours.

What are the side effects of taking 15 mg of Adderall and .25 of Risperdal?

Side effects generally vary from individual to individual. Taking Adderall and Risperdal at the same time shouldn't cause any significant problems, since they don't majorly interact with each other. However, since they're both forms of psychiatric drugs, if you plan on taking both for a prolonged period of time definitely consult a doctor.

Is it all right to only take adderall on weekdays?

Not Taking Adderall on WeekendsHi, I'm a 12 year old girl. I took adderall XR during every school week last year, and didn't on the weekend. There were no side effects for me. I know you probably won't trust me but I'm not lying or anything.
  • no side effects if you skip a day...besides the fact that you will be your silly, spontaneous, distracted self. (but this is just me)

I just wanted to add that when my doctor prescribed adderall to me, he said I wouldn't have to take it every day. If there are days where I knew I wouldn't need to focus, then he told me I can just skip it and it's not like the medication that you have to take every day.

That's entirely subjective. Seeing as Adderall contains amphetamine, withdrawal symptoms like irritability, fatigue, and overall moodiness are common, more so than the complete lack of symptoms that the 12 year old girl above describes.

What are the alternatives for Adderall?

Nootropics or nootropic based supplements. The most popular product on the market is still PROFIDERALL which combines nootropics with powerful energy compounds to enhance both neural processing and responsiveness.

You take Adderall and you have a cold--what can you take for the cold?

Look on the back to see the active ingredients, check if it has alcohol, or opiates such as codeine (if your getting it over the counter in the us, it shouldn't have this), and I would avoid anything with dextromethorphan. Anything else should be good, but you can ask a pharmacist/ check online if any active ingredients have abuse potential, just to be safe. Most over the counter cold medications should be fine as long as they don't have the three drugs mentioned above.

Will adderall and Vyvanse show up the same in a drug test?

Yes they will, but they will show up as the same thing...amphetamine.

It depends on the type of test. It will test as an amphetamine on a base level test but an professional panel test can distinguish the difference because Vyvance only uses the D-amphetamine. Adderall uses four different types of amphetamines. So they can test by the presence or lack there of to determine. Virtually all drugs leave a unique footprint behind.

Does Vyvanse show up as an opiate on a drug test?

NO. Venlafaxine is in no way related to Opium. It is an anti-depressant and is not at all considered an opiate.

How long does 1 dose of Vyvanse 20mg stay in your system?

Vyvanse will stay in your system over 24 hours, since it is a stimulant so it doesn't accumulates over time.

Can you take Vyvanse when you are pregnant?

My doctor kept me on my Vyvanse when I told him I was pregnant. He lowered the dose slightly, but that was the only change. I was on Adderall with my first pregnancy, and my daughter is now almost 2 and perfectly normal (so far!).

Is 30 mg of adderall a high dose?

I'll give you a hint, which number do you think is bigger?

120 mg is 90 mg more than 30 mg, therefore 120 mg is more. However the strongest adderall is 30 mg so you won't find something with a higher dosage than that.

Why is Adderall xr better than Adderall ir?

I have always prefered IR to XR, because I believe that IR works alot longer than 3-5 hours or whatever. And XR can build you up at the beginning and make you feel as though it's worn off which leads people to take more and that's always a problem. IR I believe kicks in and doesn't wear off for 8+ hours and doesn't really make you feel bad 2 hours after taking it.

Not so much it's better, it depends on what you need to accomplish. A IR is best for doing alot within 4 hours, while XR's last around 8-10hours but felt less than it's IR counterpart.
